Is there a way to prep for surgery and avoid this? I can tell when a person has had a tummy tuck by their belly button. Why do they look so different after a tummy tuck? I want my body to look as natural as possible after my mommy makeover and bbl.

Answer: Belly Button Art I know what you mean. When I was in training I was taught to make the belly button rather large to make sure that if there was scar contracture it didn't get too tight. But every one of those belly buttons can be seen a mile away at the beach and spotted as "artificial". It's a clear tell tale sign of a tummy tuck.Many of us work hard to avoid that look, but there is nothing a patient can do to improve it - other than choosing the right surgeon. Make sure you see a LOT of before and after photos before deciding who will operate on you.Good Luck!

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. The goal for the belly button should be designed to look natural, have an "innie" appearance, and have no scars on the exterior. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
